In anticipation of Marti Peterson’s participation on our #ReelvsRealCIA panel tomorrow (bit.ly/2IWoJok), here is the Cold War story about her & Aleksandr Ogorodnik, Codename: TRIGON

1.usa.gov/28Jp87E
Aleksandr Ogorodnik, a mid-level official in Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) posted in Latin America, had access to information about Soviet intentions for the region. While he enjoyed his life in Latin America, he found the Soviet system oppressive.

#ReelvsRealCIA
CIA recruited Aleksandr in South America in 1973 & gave him codename TRIGON.

He smuggled docs to CIA officers who would photograph them. Material he provided gave unique insights into Soviet’s Latin America policies, including plans to influence other governments.
